Antique Ersari Kizil Ayak Turkmen 9 Gul Chuval Face, Circa 1900.

1900 - 1920
Description

Size: 4ft 10in x 2ft 9in (148x 85cm).

Antique Ersari Kizil Ayak Turkmen chuval face, of 9 gul format.

Circa 1900.

A Kizil Ayak chuval face, (the back has been removed). Chuval were large storage bags used by the nomads to store goods in; and place around the inside of the yurt, they were also used on the backs of camels to transport goods.

The chuval is of the 9 gul format, with nine large chuval guls on a warm madder red ground. The secondary gul is the Kizil Ayak 'tshemtshe' gul. The main border features the Kizil Ayak ram's horn & star or 'gotshak' design. The elem panel at the base is decorated with two rows of a variant of the Turkmen tree.

The chuval face is in excellent condition with very slight even wear and good pile, as can be seen in the images the chuval face is slightly narrower in the middle.

The chuval is suitable for normal domestic use and would make an attractive small rug.

Stock Number: DS-0678.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A chuval face is the decorated front panel of a large storage bag traditionally woven by nomadic Turkmen tribes for transport and interior tent storage.

These textiles are constructed with hand-spun wool pile tied onto a wool warp and weft structure, dyed using natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic period examples display hand-knotted asymmetrical construction, natural dye color variations, soft handle, and specific tribal gul motifs unique to sub-tribes like the Ersari.

These woven panels can be mounted on a wall as decorative textile art, displayed draped over a bench, or used as an accent floor rug.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush, keep away from direct sunlight, and rely on specialist textile restorers for deep cleaning.
